Zhenniang groaned subconsciously, and her heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

Chapter 505 Newspaper Aftermath

Inside the car, Zhenniang looked shy and looked shy. In her memory, the high officials hadn't been alone with her for a long, long time.

unfortunately,

At this time, Guo Ye was only thinking about the response of the morning paper, so how could he care about the tenderness of these romantic beauties?

Along the way, apart from leaning on the wall of the car with closed eyes and contemplating, he didn't say a word.

What an incomprehensible Mr. Guo!

Zhenniang was helpless, she rested her cheeks on her hands and looked out of the car through the curtain, and began to think wildly again.

A few figures appeared in my mind one after another, changing and passing by, that girl You Ji who complained about herself and felt pity for me, that girl Yu Nuannuan who was as holy as snow and as powerful as a rainbow...

Immediately, Zhenniang's whole body tensed up unnaturally, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.

……

Da da da……

"Yu..."

The carriage slowly slowed down, the groom of Guo's mansion sat on the shaft and stopped the horse, and reported through the curtain: "Your Majesty, you've arrived."

It is the Haitian Feast Restaurant located in West City.

Guo Ye groaned, got out of the car in a hurry, jumped off the carriage and went straight to the door of the restaurant, he even forgot to help Zhen Niang in the car.

Zhenniang was so angry that her face was filled with resentment, and she got out of the carriage angrily, and ordered the groom to wait outside, then hurriedly followed Guo Ye into the restaurant.

As soon as Guo Ye entered the gate with Zhen Niang, Huang Ao, the new shopkeeper of the restaurant, spotted Guo Ye's arrival with sharp eyes. Good guy, this is the first time that a high-ranking official has visited the restaurant since he became the shopkeeper.

Immediately, he came out of the cabinet, greeted him quickly, and said warmly: "The senior officials are here, and the small ones are welcome, if you want to forgive your sins!"

Guo Ye ignored Huang Ao, but took a glance at the lobby of the restaurant. The business was okay, and it was already sparse but there were quite a few customers coming up before lunch time.

Huang Ao asked in a low voice: "There are no guests now, the downstairs is too noisy, I will take you to the private room on the second floor, it's quiet there."

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "No need, the downstairs is fine."

As he said that, he walked towards an empty table in the corner of the lobby. It seemed that the little prince of Tubo, Dochiluo, had sat there last time.

After Guo Ye and Zhen Niang both sat down, Huang Ao asked again: "Master, what do you want to eat?"

Guo Ye waved his hands absently, and said, "For a pot of wine, just cut up half a catty of cooked beef. Leave me alone and go greet your guests."

Huang Ao snorted, turned around and prepared to go away with wine and meat.

Although Zhenniang was angry, she still asked doubtfully: "Your official, there is a lot of noise downstairs, why don't you go upstairs and sit in the private room."

Guo Ye chuckled lightly and said, "If you're not in a crowded place, where can you hear other people's comments on the newspaper? Zhenniang, don't worry about good words for a while, just listen to it, don't say anything!"

Zhenniang nodded and stopped talking, and soon, the waiter brought up a plate of cooked beef and a pot of wine, and Zhenniang carefully cut the cooked beef for Guo Ye.

After about half a cup of tea, the restaurant began to serve guests one after another, and more and more guests came to eat in the lobby, and the voices of talking, discussing, and bragging became more and more noisy.

suddenly,

At the gate, a sturdy man wearing a bunt jacket came in, raised the things in his hand, and yelled, "Everyone, everybody, there is something new, there is something new this morning! "

This sturdy man is obviously a regular customer of Haitian Feast Restaurant. After shouting, he attracted the attention of most of the diners, who sat in their respective seats and echoed him:

"Hey, so it's the head of the Fuwei Escort Bureau? What's the matter? Could it be that your Fuwei Escort Bureau has picked up some big escorts again?"

"I see, it must be that Escort Hu is going to tell us men about the new things in his escorting journey."

"Hahaha, Escort Hu, you come here early in the morning to drink and eat meat, are you afraid that Chief Escort Lin Yuan Tulin of your Fuwei Escort Bureau will punish you and deduct your wages?"

"Wa hahaha……"

……

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Escort Hu glanced viciously at the diners who were taunting him, found an empty table at random, and shouted to the waiter, "Xiao Er, one catty of steamed buns, one pot of burning knives, and two catties of cooked beef."

A clever guy responded: "Come on, Escort Hu, wait a moment!"

Hu Biaotou took off the boots on his feet, buckled them on the ground, poured out the sand grains inside, put them on again, then stood up, stomped his feet, and shouted at everyone. Raising the things in his hands, he said: "Look at all of you, the news is really not good at all, do you know what this is? It's called a newspaper!"

"newspaper?"

"What's the matter?"

"Can you eat it?"

"Eat your mother's eggs, my third uncle's grandpa's son works as a gardener at Mr. Yin Xue's house in Chang'an Mansion. I heard from him that the Xue Mansion has been making a fuss all morning because of this newspaper thing."

"Shhh, don't make any noise, just listen to Chief Hu!"

Suddenly, the buzzing discussion hall stopped again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Bodyguard Hu, as bright and dazzling as stars.

……

Head of Escort Hu suddenly became a little proud, raised the newspaper in his hand again, and hummed: "Let me tell you, our Fuwei Escort Bureau also received this newspaper this morning. Do you know what is written in it? It's all from our Imperial College." Those gentlemen wrote beautiful articles. It’s beautiful!”

"C'mon, you're fucking bragging, Head Hu Biao!"

A young man stood up and said jokingly: "Hu Biaotou, you don't know a lot of Chinese characters, can you understand the articles written by those Jinshi masters? Besides, we common people, how can we have the honor to read it?" Poems, poems, poems and articles of Jinshi masters, romantic talents?"

"Wang Buer, get out of here, don't interrupt!"

Head escort Hu cursed, and continued: "I can't read. Could it be that the head escort Lin of our Fuwei Escort Bureau can't read? I heard him read from the newspaper all morning."

"Hey, Jinxiu Articles have a useless purpose. We here are not only ordinary people but also businessmen. Can this Jinxiu Article be used as food or wine?"

It was the young man Wang Buer who interrupted him.

"Wang Buer, did you drink and pee early in the morning?"

Brigade Hu yelled and cursed again, and said cursingly: "I haven't finished talking yet, you are a jerk!"

Then, Chief Hu found a location from the newspaper, pointed to it and said, "It was said in the newspaper that in twelve days, the [-] or so gambling stalls in Changlefang will be converted into Changlefang Big Bank. Hehe, at that time, take this "Chang'an Morning Post" and go to the Changlefang Big Bank to open an account, and you can get one hundred Wen. Young and old, one hundred Wen. Let's drink wine and eat meat here, and it's only seven or eight Ten coins. Tsk tsk, this Changlefang big bank is really generous and open."

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes were already shining brightly, and they looked at the newspaper in the hands of Escort Hu with a little covetousness, mother, if you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard, why don't you want the free money?
